Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for establishing, or re-establishing, trust for a network device. A user device may send, via a network device, a service request to establish trust for the network device in a network. The service request may comprise, or may allow look up of, identifying information for the network device, such as a network address. Trust of the network device may be established, at least in part, by confirming the network address (or other identifying information) associated with the network device, and/or by confirming certain devices that are in communication with the network device. An authentication token may be sent to the network device for reconnecting to the network.
